The Merseyside club, who face Bayern Munich in the Champions League later on Wednesday, are also in the race for the Premier League title, leading some pundits to suggest they should prioritise domestic glory over European success.

“Our goal is to win the league and everything we’re playing in, the Champions League as well,” Alisson told a news conference on Tuesday. “We can’t choose what we go for. Actually, we can choose, and we choose both.”

The Brazil international’s comments echo those of his manager Jurgen Klopp, who said ahead of the Bayern game that the result would have no bearing on his team’s domestic ambitions.
